Re: [GNC] Misc Newbie Questions

Hi


1)  How can you enter a scheduled transaction before it's due date?
(Used to check cash flow)


Adrien Monteleone has given one method, I use a different one.

Without going through my entire boring "scheme of works" for the last 
day of the month I do want to enter all scheduled transactions for thee 
following month (you call it "cash flow purposes", I call it "fear of 
going into the red"). To do that I

(1) close GnuCash;
(2) set the system clock to a later date (in my case the last day of the 
next month):
(3) open GnuCash, click the necessary buttons and check that all the 
transactions have appeared (in my case in my current/checking account);

(4) close GnuCash;
(5) Reset the system date.

I use Ubuntu and I find sometimes (not very often) the change of date 
doesn't "take", that is why the checking is necessary.


Different, not better

Best wishes

Eric

When setting up a scheduled transaction (or later, by editing it) you
can choose how far in advance to trigger the transaction.  For
instance, if you want the month's scheduled entries to all show up on
the 1st of the month, set up the things scheduled for the 5th to
trigger five days in advance, the things scheduled for the 20th to
trigger 20 days in advance, and so on.  Then run Actions -->Scheduled
Transactions-->Since Last Run..., any time after midnight, to create the
entries for the month.  For variable transactions you can estimate the
amount to a close approximation, easily corrected when you get the bill.
A thick blue line will separate past from future in the register.
There is great flexibility in how far in advance you want to enter any
scheduled transaction.

If you always want to see them 10-15 or even 30 days in advance, just
edit that transaction (Actions:Scheduled Transactions:Scheduled
Transactions Editor) and click the Create in Advance checkbox on the
Overview tab.  Adjust the number of days as desired.

Just re-reconcile that account as of the last statement date again. You?d only 
have the one transaction that needs to be checked off and then finish the 
process.

Clicking in the ?R" field in a register can cycle it to ?cleared? (?c?) so when 
you click the Reconcile button again, it is already checked off. Then just 
click the icon in the toolbar to finish it.

If you do this right away, you probably don?t even have to manually change any 
dates or amounts in the dialogs.

Otherwise, be sure to go ahead and clear the transaction anyway, so it is 
already checked off for the next formal reconcile chore, then you won?t have to 
remember to do anything with it. Its flag will just get changed to ?y? as it 
should.

Regards,
Adrien

Hi

My requirement is that on the first of the month all transactions due 
before the last day of the month are entered. My method does that but 
the one proposed by Bert Riding seems to be better. ("Seems" only 
because I'll need to check it against my "boring scheme of work" at 
month end. Luckily we have one of them coming up.) I knew of the "enter 
N days before due" technique but I assumed - wrongly - that the number 
of days was fixed for all transactions. Just goes to show, intuitive 
interfaces can help but reading the manual can really help.


Take care

Re: [GNC] Misc Newbie Questions

[Adrien Monteleone]

Out of curiosity, is this a personal requirement?

What is the end purpose?

If it is just to ’see’ what might transpire, the Future Scheduled Transactions 
Summary report might be helpful. (as might the Budget module)

The reason I pose the above questions is I often find that the original 
question of “How do I do ‘xyz’?” isn’t the actual desired answer because the 
questioner is already in a rabbit hole.

The real question is, removing all intermediate steps, what is the desired end 
result? What are you trying to accomplish? What is the end goal?

Usually, going back to that fundamental question will yield a clearer answer 
and result in a more efficient process or workflow to accomplish the task. (of 
course, the journey is part of the learning fun, even, or especially if you 
take detours)

Adrien

Re: [GNC] Hidden Accounts

[David Carlson]

In  it
states : The *Hidden* check box hides an account (and any sub-accounts) in
the account tree. To reset this option, you will first need to open the
*View* → *Filter By...* dialog for the account tree and check the *Show
hidden accounts* option. Doing so will allow you to select the account and
reopen this dialog. While this is in the help manual for the current
version, I happen to knw that area has not changed.

Does that answer your question?

Re: [GNC] Misc Newbie Questions

[Eric Coates]

Adrien (and any others sufficiently interested)

I'm assuming the question was meant for me (or is that just ego?):

It's a personal requirement in two senses (1) I make no use of the 
business features of GnuCash and (2) it's because of that "fear of going 
into the red".


The first needs no comment.

The second, although now of less concern was, at one time, significant. 
To simplify the real situation (almost to the point of triviality) we 
[see below] have a current account (aka checking account) and a deposit 
account with different banks. Transfers from the current account to the 
deposit account is almost instantaneous, transfers in the opposite 
direction can take up to seven days. Having all the upcoming payments 
from the current account already entered allows for two situations:
(1) If there will be insufficient funds in the current account at some 
point it will "flash red" and I will have time to arrange a covering 
transfer from deposit to current.
(2) When our salaries/pensions are deposited (in the current account) I 
will be able to see the expected month end balance and so, possibly, be 
able to transfer cash to the deposit account (for its higher interest rate)


At the moment, in this low interest environment, the benefit of 
transferring to the deposit account is, to a first and probably third 
approximation, negligible. But I'm a man of habit!


I suppose what I'm doing is a form of budgeting.

I've never got into the reporting possibilities of GnuCash. To be frank 
- and with no implied criticism - I have difficulty with interpreting 
the ones I've glanced at. That may be because I use one set of books to 
keep track of my, my wife's and our joint accounts so the shear number 
of sub-accounts can be a little overpowering.


As an aside: I totally agree with your statement "the journey is part of 
the learning fun, even, or especially if you take detours" - although I 
might be tempted to put the word "fun" in quotes, "satisfaction" 
wouldn't need quotes.


Take care

Eric

Thanks Eric for the clarification,

I found that I got a better handle on the reports after I just played around 
with them for a bit. Some options are laid out or described in a way that while 
technically accurate, can be obtuse if not confusing.

To see what each option does, I just started fiddling and clicking the ‘Apply’ 
button to learn what their effect was. Sometimes reading Help manuals actually 
helps, but in this case, I learned more by doing.

To your specific purpose, you might want to take a look at the following:

Balance Forecast
Average Balance
Cash Flow Bar Chart
Income & Expense Line Chart

Each of these (as most reports) can be set for just a single account, so you 
can see what is happening to it alone if desired.

Also, the Multi-column report would allow you to have 2 or more (and other) 
reports all on one tab, which you could always keep open as a sort of 
‘dashboard’ if you will. One of these might be a Balance Forecast chart just 
for the Checking Account. Note, that chart offers you the option of a ‘reserve 
amount’ and a ’target amount’ as lines you can display to see if you are 
projected to cross a danger zone.

[GNC] Payment month after reconcile

[Dale Alspach]

I have noticed that the wrong month is being supplied for a payment after a
reconcile. This only happens sometimes because it may be selecting the
current month. Today it suggested May 16 2019 rather than June 16 2019.
Has anyone else noticed this? This is on Linux mint.  Gnucash 3.5.

Re: [GNC] Payment month after reconcile

[Adrien Monteleone]

Dale,

Please elaborate on "the wrong month is being supplied for a payment”.

How are you processing the payment? With the Process Payment feature? Exactly, 
what steps (clicks) are you walking through to process this payment?

If you are attempting to process a payment today, May 29th, is it not 
defaulting to May 29th? (or is it for some odd reason defaulting to May 16th?)

Are you presuming that entering a payment on May 29th, would for some reason 
default to June 16th for some reason?

Finally, are you processing a payment for a vendor *by* you, or from a customer 
*to* you? (it shouldn’t matter, but just for the sake of being thorough)

Regards,
Adrien

Re: [GNC] Payment month after reconcile

[Dale Alspach]

You missed the fact that this is after reconciliation of something like a
credit card statement. This has nothing to do with the business features.
Following reconciliation gnucash opens a window to pay the balance due on a
date pattern that should have been learned from past payments. Now it seems
to sometimes suggest a date which requires a time machine :)

Re: [GNC] Payment month after reconcile

[Adrien Monteleone]

Dale,

I didn’t miss it—you didn’t specify it (see below), which is why I asked for 
‘how’ you got to that dialog.

I don’t use credit cards and don’t reconcile those types of accounts, so I 
guess I never see that payment window. (reconciling a cash or checking account 
doesn’t offer this ‘payment’ option, naturally - so this is a special case for 
that account type)

I’ll play around with a test book and see what I can figure out.

In the meantime, perhaps someone else who’s more familiar with this workflow 
has some input...

Regards,
Adrien

Re: [GNC] Payment month after reconcile

Thanks David,

Now that you mention it, I vaguely seem to recall this from reading the 
documentation. (I might retain a bit of info I don’t need from time to time)

Is there anyone who uses this feature (or that programmed it?) who can shed 
light on the date defaults?

[GNC] Setting font size using gtk-3.0.css does not work on Win7 x64

[concept303]

Hi,

I have tried the methods described in the various posts and wikis on how to
change font size and other properties of the GUI using the gtk-3.0.css for
GnuCash 3.5-1.

While it works on Windows 10, it seems to have no effect on Win7x64 systems.
I have tried on several different Win7x64 computers, including a plain
vanilla installation in a VM.

Would be grateful for any tips on how to make this work, as the default font
is a bit small and tiresome to work with.

Re: [GNC] Misc Newbie Questions

[AEG via gnucash-user]

I've been wanting to do this ever since I started using GnuCash a couple of
years ago and hadn't found the way to do it, so thank you for the
description. Having to enter the advance time period in individual scheduled
transaction is tedious, however, and I had hoped that the setting in the
Preferences menu item would provide global control, but it doesn't seem to
do so.

I've been managing my finances with AceMoney for many years and like the way
future scheduled transactions can be made visible in all accounts via a
global setting. This makes it very easy to turn that visibility on or off
from a simple menu setting and to set how far in advance they would be
shown. Also, the future transactions are greyed out so that, although
visible, they are not easily confused with present entries, but they can be
manually brought forward, edited and made current via a simple right-click
menu.

I would like to see a similar feature in GnuCash.

Morning, Adrien.

I use the reconciliation feature both for bank and for credit card accounts.

The system “guesses” the statement date, and usually gets it right. 
Occasionally it’s a day out, I don’t recall an instance of more than that but 
couldn’t swear to it.

The default date offered for credit card payments following reconciliation 
seems never to be correct. As I know I always have to change it, I haven’t paid 
much attention to the date offered, but I think it’s “today’s date” - I 
couldn’t swear that a date before today’s doesn’t occur (as in the OP’s case), 
but I don’t believe I’ve seen that.

I’m using 3.5 on Mac OS X High Sierra, and will pay more attention with the 
next batch of reconciliations.

Michael

Re: [GNC] Payment month after reconcile

[Adrien Monteleone]

Thanks for that info Michael,

Certainly, closing dates are guessed and probably attempt something like the 
end of the previous month if close enough to the start of the next one, mid 
month otherwise. (might be the case for the OP’s notice of the 16th being 
chosen)

As for default suggested payment dates, I guess that’s still an unknown, though 
‘current’ date as you mention (and as happens with the business features) would 
seem a sane default choice the user could always override.

Any insight you can offer on your next reconciliation would be helpful in 
either pinning this down as a bug/enhancement opportunity or a case for 
updating the documentation.

Regards,
Adrien
